Overall Satisfaction with Git

Git is a software version control system that enables distributed collaboration of engineers working all over the world. It allows for development on parallel features, acting as the source of truth for code, and also detects and helps solve conflicts that might arise from collaboration on the same files.
I'd say Git is one of those systems that are pretty much omnipresent when it comes to the Tech industry at this point. I haven't come across a simpler, better distributed version system yet.
  • Version Control
  • Conflict Resolution
  • Collaborative Work
  • UI
  • Learning Curve
  • No lost code. From the moment the code is submitted to Git, it's safe, and a lost/stolen computer, or any other problem that affects a particular collaborator's equipment will mess with it.
  • It's open source and free.
  • There's a huge and very active community that use Git, meaning there are continuous improvements

Yes

Did Git live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Git go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Git again?

Yes

Git is suited not only for software work, or the tech industry as a whole. It's true it's the most obvious use but I've recommended Git for people in various industries, from finance to art. The truth is that if you're working on files that are meant to be worked on by other people as well, in a collaborative effort, I would without a doubt recommend Git.
